I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.  I really liked that song and remember the original Coke commerical.
============================================================================
The song began life as a collaboration by UK hit songwriters Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway. The melody was based on a Cook/Greenway jingle originally called "Mom, True Love and Apple Pie",[1]; a version of this called "True Love and Apple Pie" was recorded by Susan Shirley and released in 1971.[citation needed] It was then rewritten by Cook, Greenaway, Coca-Cola account executive Bill Backer, and Billy Davis and recorded as a Coca-Cola radio commercial, with the lyric "I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company."

It was first aired as an American radio commercial on February 12, 1971, sparking public demand for its release as a single.[1] Reworked by Bill Backer and Billy Davis to remove the brand name references, the single climbed to UK #1 and US #7 in 1971 and 1972.

The Coca-Cola Company waived royalties to the song and instead donated $80,000 in payments to UNICEF. The song has since been recorded over 75 times.
